>> new orleans paused today to remember that unforgettable storm. 11 years ago hurricane katrina crushed the gulf coast delivering a devastating blow to new orleans. 1,245 people died in the hurricane and resulting flooding. $108 billion in damage was left behind.

katrina packed winds of almost 200 miles an hour. >> meteorologist melissa magee in for adam is back now with a closer look at today's heat and humidity. >> yeah it was day four of heat wave number six. we have relief coming our way and keeping you updated on the tropics as well because things are heating up. storm tracker6 live double scan radar you can see it's dry, it's quiet, no issues with precipitation. we're tracking a cold front that's moving on through. no real precipitation associated with it. what it's going to do is shift the winds from a southerly direction where we tap into all of that humidity to a dry northwesterly wind as we go throughout the middle and ladder half of our work week here. the high today in philadelphia 93 degrees and that's where we are sitting currently. 91 in trenton, 81 in allentown the lehigh valley. 77 in the poconos. at the coast in cape may coming in at 83. here is satellite6 along with action radar. you can see it's dry and it's quiet, that cold front dipping down to our south and in the wake high pressure will follow in and dry out the atmosphere

suppressing any cloud cover, any moisture well away from our region. so here's the setup for us on our tuesday. high pressure takes over tomorrow. high temperature coming in at 89 degrees. it's sunny and warm with lower humidity across the region. then things change as we get into the middle half of our work week here. we're tracking this cold front that dips down to the south so sunshine and clouds midweek. showers are likely late at night on wednesday as this cold front gets closer. ahead of that, however, a high temperature of 91 degrees. it will be hazy, hot and humid. one good thing about this tropical low pressure that's coming through is that this trough will help to kick this tropical system that's just off the coast of the carolinas out to sea and well away from our region. nonetheless the tropics are a concern as we move forward here. nearing peak of the season, the peak of the season is in the middle half of september, really september 10th is when we start to see things peak. we've got tropical depression number eight just off the coast of the carolinas here. hurricane gaston a category two hurricane.

we'll widen out the picture. we have tropical depression number nine just to the south of florida and south of key west and this could strengthen as well into a tropical system and all of these systems will affect us indirectly over the next several days. so, there is a rip current danger even as we head into the holiday weekend. moderate to high risk for rip currents because of gaston and those long period swells, because of tropical depression number eight and because of tropical depression number nine. so, waves anywhere from three to 5 feet high. something we've yet to touch on but is really important the breakers can also cause injury if you're just wading in the water maybe jumping over some of those smaller waves never turn your back on one of those waves because those could push you over or knock you down and also as we mentioned want to make sure you swim where lifeguards are on duty. the rip current risk continues tomorrow at the shore. the ocean temperature not bad and at 77 degrees and on land at new jersey a temperature of 81. delaware beaches tomorrow 82, mostly sunny. we've got that rough surf and a sea breeze to deal with

later in the day. here's the exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. warm and less humid tomorrow, high temperature at 89. hot and moist, sticky on wednesday and at 91 degrees. on thursday, showers to start the day, then some sunshine. it's a good looking day and at 85 degrees and a gun control looking night to play some football as the eagles are at home in their preseason game against the jets. partly cloudy, 774th quarter at 72. friday september beauty, high temperature of 80 degrees with temple at home and as we get into saturday, sunny and pleasant a high of 81. gorgeous on sunday, 84 and for labor day next monday guys turning warmer a high temperature of 86 degrees so we go up and down with the humidity and finally it breaks as we get into thursday and into the weekend. >> september looks nice. >> yeah, it does. >> all right. finally. thank you. >> thank you. >> meanwhile in center city today many folks spent their lunch hours outside enjoying the heat if not the humidity. the action cam was in dillworth park just outside of city hall while adults sat at

tables preferably underneath umbrellas shielding the sun, youngsters were having fun soaking up the sun while getting soaked from those miniature fountains at still worth park. a great way to beat the heat on this hot summer monday. >> ♪

david was proud to be an american soldier. and i know i'm prejudiced because he was my son, but i don't think he had a mean bone in his body. there is not a day that i don't think about david. when i saw donald trump attack another gold star mother, i felt such a sense of outrage. "she was standing there, she had nothing to say..." if donald trump cannot respect a gold star family, then why would anyone in america think he would respect them. votevets is responsible for the content of this advertising.
